Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of the Belgian Grand Prix where Nico Rosberg starts on pole position from Lewis Hamilton as the battle for the championship reaches a crucial phase. Lights out 13.00 BST.

And Daniel Ricciardo takes the chequered flag to win a dramatic Belgian Grand Prix! Rosberg is a superb second given the circumstances ahead of Bottas, Raikkonen, Vettel, Magnussen and Button. It means Rosberg extends his championship lead to 29 points over Lewis Hamilton.

FINAL LAP: looking like Ricciardo has done enough to hold onto his third victory of the season. His lead is 4.5 seconds. Magnussen passes Alonso for fifth!

Great scrap between Button, Magnussen and Alonso, who eventually wins the scrap for fifth! Great racing. The gap at the front is 6.2 seconds. Looks like Rosberg hasn't done enough...

@MercedesAMGF1 That's it for @LewisHamilton - he's soldiered on valiantly but that's the race run. A disappointing end to such a strong weekend. #F1#Spa

Rosberg told that any tenth will make a difference and that he should catch and pass Ricciardo. Nervous faces on the Red Bull pit wall...

Bottas takes Raikkonen for third! He sweeps past the former champ and into a podium place. Changing of the guard?

Hamilton retires. It’s been a miserable afternoon and we surely have not heard the last of this one!

Rosberg being told that he should be right on Ricciardo by the final lap. What an exciting finish we have in prospect here. Bottas also right up behind Raikkonen in the battle of the Finns. F1 is back with a bang folks!

Well Ricciardo’s tyres are going off! Rosberg is taking out three seconds a lap now. Wow this will be a close finish!

If Ricciardo’s prime tyre falls off a cliff, he’s in trouble but he can afford to lose a couple of seconds a lap.

Rosberg quickly gets back past Bottas and Raikkonen and sets about Ricciardo. Does Ricciardo need to stop again? he is 20 seconds ahead...

Rosberg pits! So those tyres were not good enough to get him to the end so the race win is in doubt. Vettel also in. Bottas takes Rosberg for third!

TEN LAPS REMAINING: Ricciardo extended his lead on the last lap so Rosberg has not made up the ground he wanted to.

Hamilton told to box for the prime tyre but it all seems academic now. Well out of the points.

Ricciardo’s gap is still at around three seconds. This race far from over. Bottas now setting about Raikkonen in third.

Great move from Bottas to overtake Vettel for fourth around the outside!

Rosberg being told his P2 is secure but knowing the German, he’ll be gunning for the win to rub salt into Hamilton’s would.

Bottas pits from second. This will be a fight between Ricciardo and Rosberg for the race win.

Ricciardo in! He rejoins behind Bottas after a 2.8 second stop. He’s only three seconds ahead of Rosberg. Game on!

Rosberg told to push as hard as possible to force Ricciardo to pit. Hamilton pootling around in 16th and seems to have given up the ghost.
